Consider the MSF to be one of the single most useful auditing tools freely available to security professionals today. From a wide array of commercial grade exploits and an extensive exploit development environment, all the way to network information gathering tools and web vulnerability plugins. The Metasploit Framework provides a truly impressive work environment. The MSF is far more than just a collection of exploits, it's an infrastructure that you can build upon and utilize for your custom needs. This allows you to concentrate on your unique environment, and not have to reinvent the wheel.

Note that '''metasploit''' is installed in {{ic|/opt/metasploit/}} and '''metasploit-git''' in {{ic|/usr/src/metasploit/}} so for the git version you do not need the alias.
